Thompson told The Telegraph she never used the team as a platform and was only “advocating for women’s sports.” Thompson said she was not even the director at that point. She said she stopped the role 10 days before Cynisca’s scathing statement. “I went through surgery and had a double mastectomy. I’m cancer-free now. I don’t understand the retaliation here.
